What would you do if you were unemployed homeless and you found a large sum of money? Pauline Nichter 46 and her husband Tom 44 had both 1　 their jobs and were living in and out of motels(汽车旅馆) with their 11-year-old son Jason. They were in danger of losing their car for 　2　 to make payments on it.

One day last summer Pauline found a wallet 　3　 a credit card an airline ticket to New Zealand and $2 394 in 　 4 　 at a shopping center in the Los Angeles suburb of Buena Park. “For a second I 　5　 about taking the money ” she said later. “ 　 6 only for a second. It wasn’t our money and we don’t want to set a bad 　 7 to our son.” She delivered the wallet and the contents to the nearest 　　8　 where the owner reclaimed them. Police admitted that they were 　 9 when the Nichters walked into the police station with the 　 10　 and the money.

Word of the 　11　 quickly got around and a grateful community 　12 in kind. The Nichters received more than ten job offers and a(n) 　13 rent-free for six months. An unknown donor（捐助人） brought the car 　14 up to date. Others gave cash. One elderly couple walked into the police station 　15　 Pauline had turned in the wallet and asked how much had been in 　16　 . When they were 　 17　 the amount the man said “Then that’s what they 　18　 ” and wrote out a check for $2 400.

At a news conference Pauline said in 19　 “Never in a million years would I have thought this would happen to us. What we have 　20 is far more than what was in the wallet.”
